Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a system for in-situ ion beam etch rate or deposition rate measurement, comprising: a vacuum chamber; an ion beam source configured to direct an ion beam onto a first surface of a sample located within the vacuum chamber and to etch the first surface of the sample with an etch rate; or a material source configured to deposit material onto a first surface of a sample located within the vacuum chamber with a deposition rate; and an interferometric measurement device located at least partially within the vacuum chamber and configured to direct light onto a second surface of the sample and to determine the etch rate of the ion beam or the deposition rate of the deposited material in-situ based on light reflected from the sample.
